Feedback

Here is the feedback we have been given permission to share from people who have been helped by The Good Fund.

I have been trying out the Love Luna & Modibodi period underwear that was so kindly gifted to me via your amazing fund.

It's been an absolute game changer, not only are these undies super comfy but they actually work for me. For once I feel normal in having my period and yesterday whilst wearing the Modibodi's for most the day i didn't even feel like I had my period at all.

My entire mindset has changed, it has boosted my mood and confidence around having my period. Thank you so much for the opportunity to make the change and improve period life as well as help in reducing waste products!!

Guys the courier just delivered me the most beautiful reusable pads, in a gorgeous wee bag, and very discreet box!!! I am in tears with how grateful I feel, and how awesome you guys are, please know how appreciated these are! I am a single mama studying and working, have been using nappy inners for 2 years, am so so very grateful, and will be paying it forward xxxxx the biggest hugs ever!!!--

Just letting you know I have received my package. Thank you so much. They are awesome.

Since having my 3 children I have struggled with the pain and amount of blood with each period. I dread each cycle knowing that for 5-6 days I am nearly housebound, besides the most essential trips. The cost for each cycle means for that week we have to decide between menstrual products and food as I can go through 6-7 packs of pads and 3-4 packs of tampons in that one week, plus the cost of painkillers.

I am slowly getting on top of the pain and having recieved a Good Fund pack, it means there is no longer the guilt of having to juggle food vs personal care.

Thank you for the pack and to New Zealand for the generous donations that have given The Good Fund the boost it needs.

Thank you so much for providing the encouragement for me to try out my very first pair of sustainable period undies and pads (I'm still a little nervous to try out a cup).

I'm looking forward to trying out my purchases on my next period! Funny how I'm actually looking forward to my next period, I guess every girls likes shopping and trying out new purchases!!

Thanks very much!!

Hello, thank you so much for this amazing fund. It really has come at the best time for our family. I look forward to paying it forward at some time in the future.

I have endometriosis and have extremely bad periods. I’ve been wanting to try the cup but being a one income family its tight. I had endo surgery in September, within 4 months my endo was back.I was blessed from The Good Fund and into my 2nd cycle and even my cramps are less. I suffer from endo! I love my cup!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to try period undies at a reduced price, they arrived today and fit perfectly, can’t wait to give them a go in a few days.

Hi I just wanted to say thank you for making period undies available to me. I’ve had really irregular bleeding and they’ve already helped me cut down on yucky pads. Having two pairs means I can get one washed and dried in time for the next day whilst using my reusable pads (which I already had) overnight.

Thank you so very much this is going to be slightly life changing, not having to worry about menstrual product will be a huge factor to go through life smoothly ❤

Hi fabulous people. I just wanted to let you know my daughter is AMAZED at the little box of wonders that arrive for her. We have been doing a bit of research into how to properly wash and look after the underwear as she heads back to boarding school in 2 weeks. We both thank you so much. This is truly going to help more than you could know. Oh and as a side note, the last 2 packs of pads we had left in the house (that she couldnt wear because they made her have an allergic reaction) have now been donated to another young girl experiencing her own form of period poverty.

Thank you so much for creating this fund. It is such amazing work

Thank you so much for what you are doing. you are making an amazing difference to a lot of people. Awesome work.

Thanks a million for this awesome opportunity. It was a bit of a stretch to make this order this weekend, but it will worth it in the long run. Very grateful!

I've just placed my order and I just wanted to say how awesome the Good Fund is and to say a huge thank you for all your hard mahi! I'm excited to make the change and can't wait to try out these products.

Thank you so much, you have made my day, this will help a huge amount.

Oh my gosh, wow! Thank you so much! I really appreciated this and I'm really looking forward to using this!

Thank you so much for the cup, its a game changer 🙂

The end of my first cycle with my MyCup, and..

I 👏 AM 👏 CONVERTED 👏

I had been watching the progress of The Good Fund for ages, and I finally decided to inquire about their 50% reimbursement packs. Got my MyCup super fast, and just in time for shark week 😂The instructions were simple to read, and after a few goes, I got the hang of it! No discomfort, saving $$ and the environment all at once.Thank you to the MyCup team and Em for making it all possible, you're on the way to inspiring a new generation (I feel so empowered to be able to let my daughter know of ALL her options when she reaches that stage 👏) 😘 - Briar

I am just emailing to say thank you so much! My parcel arrived today and I was totally taken back. I had no idea I would be sent 4 pairs of underwear. I know how expensive they are and there's no way I could afford 4 pairs so that was just so amazing to receive. Received it at the perfect time too as I'm in the middle of my cycle. Thanks so much again!!

I just wanted to say thank you. I received my cup today, and I got my period again, today so I am already using it and I feel much more empowered and less stressed out about my period than I do when getting and disposing of tampons is something I have to consider.

Thank you so much for doing this for me. The work you are doing is amazing.

Thank you, I received a free pack and I am currently trying the products, which are amazing!!

Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing. I am so grateful, and so far I am loving the menstrual cup and reusable pads more than I can find words for.

I wish I had tried them sooner and I can't thank you enough for making that possible for me.

Thank you so much!!My daughter (13) will love these!! We so appreciate all your help!! So happy!

I've decided not to take the reimbursement... Please use it as a donation. I'm so impressed with the work you are doing.

Thank you so much for your follow-up on my application - just letting you know I bypassed the 50% code and applied for full package help due to my financial situation. And I did receive my package in the mail containing 2 pairs of period underwear and reusable pads. Just wanted to write and say THANK YOU SO MUCH, I got my period very soon after receiving the package, and was off grid on a permaculture farm, and the period underwear were MORE AMAZING THAN I COULD HAVE EVER DREAMED, made everything sooo incredibly comfortable and easy, I felt and still feel incredibly blessed, my periods have just gotten so much easier and less stressful.

My deepest gratitude for the service you provide with this mahi...

Arohanui, big big love to your team. Thank you so much.

I received 2 pairs of period underwear about a week ago. Thanks so so bloody(ha!) Much. They will make a real difference to me every month!

Thanks again. You are lifesavers!

Omg I am so in LOVE with the Modibodi underwear thank you so much for making it affordable to purchase these wonderful supplies. I'm telling everyone about period undies.

I have my cup now. Thanks very much for that. I can't wait to use it. Save me $$ and save the environment. 🙂

Thank you very much for making it affordable for me try some sustainable products! What you're doing is fantastic and I appreciate it so much!

Thank you so much! So appreciate the work you guys are doing

Thank you so very much! This is a true blessing!

Thank you so much for the cup, its a game changer 🙂

Thanks again.

So excited to use my new products when my next period finally arrives.

I have just purchased my first set of period undies (as I already have a cup) and I am so excited to give these ago.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the incredible mahi you do for women, māmā, teens etc to enable we can still go about our daily lives and not feel burdened financially, mentally or emotionally every month.

I am humbled and very grateful for these small acts of support for all mana wahine.
